Dave,

Depending on what version you were running before you upgraded to the
latest svn, you may need to reconfigure your firewire tuners.  To do
so, run mythtv-setup and delete the old firewire tuners, then
re-create them.  When you do, you will see that the system handles
firewire a lot different than in the past.
